Customers are saying

Customers love the Handycam CX405 Flash Memory Camcorder's video quality and ease of use, frequently praising its lightweight design and compact size, making it ideal for travel. While some users noted the need to purchase a memory card separately and mentioned limitations in low-light performance and features, the positive feedback on image quality and user-friendliness outweighs these concerns.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Overall its a good camera for the price. The worse thing is opening the sidescreen which is also how you turn it on. If you have large fingers or wet fingers good luck opening it. I also wish it came with an on off remote.

    The size and weight are incredible, , but looking at the screen you need young eyes and need to know what the icons mean.i was happy with my old cam, it did memory card and dv tape, plus a web cam. And this model you cant use the charge cord when your battery is low. I returned it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
